where do i find do not disturb on my iphone

On most recent iPhones, Do Not Disturb lives inside the Focus settings and in Control Center.

Quick Scoop

  • You’ll find Do Not Disturb under Settings → Focus → Do Not Disturb.
  • You can also toggle it quickly from Control Center using the Focus or moon icon.
  • On iOS 15 and later, “Do Not Disturb” is part of Apple’s Focus modes, so the wording may look slightly different but it’s the same feature.

Method 1: From Control Center

This is the fastest way once you know where to look.

  1. Unlock your iPhone.
  2. On iPhone with Face ID: swipe down from the top‑right corner of the screen to open Control Center. On older models with a Home button: swipe up from the bottom.
  1. Look for the Focus button or a crescent moon icon.
  2. Tap Focus, then tap Do Not Disturb to turn it on or off.
  1. When it’s on, you’ll see a small moon or Focus indicator near the clock/status bar and on the Lock Screen.

Method 2: From Settings

If you want to fine‑tune who can reach you, use the Settings path.

  1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll and tap Focus.
  1. Tap Do Not Disturb in the list of Focus modes.
  2. From here you can:
    • Turn Do Not Disturb on or off.
    • Choose which people and apps are allowed to notify you.
    • Set a schedule or smart activation so it turns on automatically at certain times.

Extra Tips and “Where Did It Go?” Feel

A lot of people search “where do i find do not disturb on my iphone” because Apple moved it into Focus starting with iOS 15, so it no longer appears as a big separate toggle in Settings like it used to. If you remember an old “Do Not Disturb” settings page, think “Focus → Do Not Disturb” now instead and you’ll land in the right place.
